Re: How Much Would You Pay to Learn from a Veteran Trader?

Tough question. Trouble is 'trading' can not really be taught there are certainly very few 'secrets'. Most people would spend a lot of mullah to be 'mentored' by Tiger and would expect to get top advice and even have there game improve. I don't think many would be under the illusion that they could turn pro in a month or six.

Having said that I guess the journey can be shortened by a good mentor. Of course the mentee has to believe what he is being told. Early in my education I spent quite a bit of time and money on tuition however just could not accept much of the stuff I was taught.

Nihabashi has written in great detail about what to expect from a mentor and what a mentor should expect from a pupil. It's on ET somewhere. Personally I would certainly not enter into any business relationship with someone who's expectations where not congruent with mine.
